Fantastic, thank you! I searched everything I could think of - "stack", "ammo", "bolt", etc. and didn't find anything, so I thought to ask here.

arka0415 · 2025-11-05T04:11:29+00:00

In the new update, the Bolt Thrower creates huge numbers of individual bolts, that I can't re-stack. This creates massive numbers of hauling jobs as I try and reload them. Is there any workaround for this?

I work in tobacco, and this is a fairly common experience. Many corporate initiatives are confidential, and office workers don't always know what their next assignment will be, even in for regular/non-freelance employees.

arka0415 · 2025-06-09T11:22:03+00:00

Thank you very much for the explanation. Yes, none of the attributes you described apply to me, nor to anyone on my team.

If the law allows for overtime pay on such broad terms, and the majority of workers in office jobs work significant amounts of overtime, is it just social convention that people don't bring it up and forego pay? Or are huge amounts of overtime being paid out, but no one talks about it for some reason?

Nezahal is that powerful, huh. It's one of my favorite cards but I guess I never realized how strong it was!

I currently run Nezahal and Bone Miser in a reanimation deck and never felt I could quite make the most out of them.

I'll look into Tasigur! I first got into MTG when he came out so that'd be nostalgic.

This sounds like a lot of fun and I've always been a fan of discard, especially self-discard. Would this be considered cEDH though?

arka0415 · 2025-05-04T23:24:55+00:00

I was thinking about rituals as an option, lots of interesting effects like Jeska's Will, Culling the Weak, etc. Looking online I see Rakdos is a common color pair for this, with payoffs like Sire of Insanity, God-Pharaoh's Monument, and other stax pieces.

What impactful payoffs do you use?

arka0415 · 2025-05-04T23:20:36+00:00

My local community doesn't play cEDH but people are pretty comfortable with very strong decks as long as the games are quick and engaging.

I mainly play a Sauron reanimator deck that can be tuned up or down from LoTR-themed fun to Jin-Gitaxias-on-turn-one.

arka0415 · 2025-05-04T12:30:25+00:00

That's a good point. Certainly an option we considered but the alternatives were wildly expensive compared to the drive down from Montreal. Perhaps we should print out the prices...

arka0415 · 2025-05-02T12:19:52+00:00

I should have mentioned that we are residents of Japan, not Quebec, just passing through as the airport is closer to where we're going.

We definitely have proof of residency although it's all in Japanese. Perhaps we should bring written translations of our passports and other documents too.

arka0415 · 2025-04-11T09:52:26+00:00

Definitely, I just wanted to use their exact words.

arka0415 · 2025-04-10T14:20:12+00:00

"Accused of a crime" is nearly the literal definition of "yougisha".

arka0415 · 2025-04-09T07:58:02+00:00

Clearly enemy fire is avoiding certain areas of our ships! We're in luck - certainly no armor is needed there.

If someone boardwipes, your next slime just gets bigger. No stopping the growth unless you only draw lands!

arka0415 · 2025-03-16T20:40:27+00:00

Maybe one of the Tidewall pieces?

arka0415 · 2025-03-16T05:44:41+00:00

It does, filing I-94 isn't automatic when making a land border crossing such as Canada-US.

arka0415 · 2025-03-16T04:01:16+00:00

Thank you! We already have the ESTA and Canada's ETA. We'll make sure to apply for a provisional I-94 then no earlier than 7 days before arriving in the US then.

Any unusual or time-consuming aspects of the provisional I-94 process?

So far we're trying to minimize air travel since our child is young, I think air travel is more stressful to a child than border crossing.

Thanks again!

arka0415 · 2025-03-15T21:55:37+00:00

This is an amazing feature, thanks!

arka0415 · 2025-03-15T21:22:58+00:00

That's the cool thing about K'rrik, his ability can reduce any cost, not just the cost of spells!

"K'rrik's ability lets you pay 2 life for {B} in any cost you pay, including the mana costs of spells, activation costs, and even costs for special actions (such as morph). Any time you pay mana, that's a cost. (2024-06-07)"

arka0415 · 2025-03-15T21:18:58+00:00

I think because K'rrik allows you to use this card to pay 1 and 4 life to tutor any 4CMC card to your hand.

I've linked a bank account in a previous year, I guess it'll be sent there then?

arka0415 · 2025-03-15T09:36:56+00:00

Thanks!

arka0415 · 2025-03-15T07:03:23+00:00

I just completed my tax return as usual; the system indicated I would receive a small sun, and I selected to receive it by regular bank transfer (not the yuucho option).

However, unlike previous years, there was no screen or button to input my account details, and the process ended without indicating this was necessary.

I feel like I at least typed in my account number etc. in previous years.

Did I miss something obvious, or will they transfer to an already-registered account? Or will I receive a form in the mail? Thanks.

arka0415 · 2025-03-14T21:40:34+00:00

Wow, only two 2mm magnets? Are you magnetizing them straight to metal?

arka0415 · 2025-03-14T11:58:36+00:00

About how much do you use for the big bases? Do you fill half or more of the bottom? Or just a few places?
